Many of you have stated or believe that mildly bad weather does not
effect football games. Think again...
Just found an interesting study of 1861 NFL games that shows that almost any bad weather greatly effects totals.
In many cases drastically. This study doesn't even factor in "Passing Teams"
which of course have a much harder time in bad weather.
It does seem to show that all football teams do worse in bad weather.
Here is the link.
Here are some sample "facts" from the study.
In 1861 games average Points Per Game was 42.0
- When there was "Rain or Snow" average total was just 37.
- With cross winds totals dropped to as low as 31.
"Passing" college teams should be hugely effected.... which interests me greatly.
What is your Opinion?
